289, Sweetness level bound to combat effectiveness bonus percentage_1

At this moment, the whole field was basked in brilliant sunshine, except for the one spot where Thousand Waves stood, which was shrouded in dark clouds and savage storms.

It was as if he had been painted with a layer of black lines.

"Xi Xi, why do you only thank Senior Lin Yi and not me?"

The final decision to issue that reward came from me!

Just as Thousand Waves was inwardly voicing his strong dissatisfaction, a sudden thought struck him.

That's not right!

Xi Xi might not have said it out loud, but she must be very grateful to him, Thousand Waves, in her heart.

But out of consideration for Senior Lin Yi's presence, Xi Xi couldn't voice all her thanks to him; that would be disrespectful to Senior Lin Yi's face!

Man, Xi Xi is so considerate and meticulous!

Thousand Waves finally understood why Poseissi didn't voice her gratitude towards him, which instantly enlightened him, even making him feel that his relationship with Poseissi had just grown closer.

Because everything Xi Xi did must have been for his sake—so he wouldn't overshadow the master and steal Lin Yi's thunder!

Hehe, suddenly feeling elated, Thousand Waves shifted aside a little, yielding the spotlight back to Poseissi and Lin Yi.

"Stand up. You should be thanking Thousand Waves, not me," Lin Yi said.

Poseissi shook her head, eyes brimming with tears, "I've seen it all clear now. All this kindness you've shown to Poseissi, how could I pretend to ignore it?"

Thousand Waves was taken aback.

As an onlooker, he was almost moved to tears; Xi Xi was really playing the full part, still acting as if she truly appreciated Senior Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was somewhat at a loss for words, "It's just a Divine Artifact."

"Just"?

Poseissi's beautiful eyes widened in shock. Are you saying that I'm not crying loudly enough?

What kind of magnanimous person would say such a thing!

Just?! The world has just seen another golden trident appear, something utterly unexpected, and you simply say—just?

Wait, huh? Huh???

Poseissi suddenly blinked in bewildered confusion.

Because, on the stage, Lin Yi had somehow produced another golden trident and was looking at her with a strange expression...

That look seemed to say: Do you really think Divine Artifacts are rare and precious? What do you call this in my hand?

The newly revealed golden trident in Lin Yi's hands emitted a thick aura of the Sea God, identical to the one Poseissi had.

This left Poseissi utterly stunned.

"Bang!"

The trident in her hand slipped to the ground.

Two identical Divine Artifacts! No, another Divine Golden Trident had appeared!

My goodness...

The thing she had treasured so dearly was just like common cabbage to someone else??

Poseissi couldn't accept the scene before her eyes.

If she didn't leave Sea God's Island, she'd remain clueless for the rest of her life!

Seeing Poseissi's very genuine reaction, Lin Yi was quite pleased.

He curled the corner of his mouth and concluded, "As long as you're loyal, there will be endless possibilities with me."

After that, the golden trident was stored in space, and Lin Yi returned to his cushion to sit down again.

He raised his hand towards Thousand Waves, signaling, "Continue, the second attack."

"Yes, okay!"

Having just gone through a self-consoling session of unrequited affection, Thousand Waves was in a pretty good mood.

A flash of light shone from his right side, as his right gauntlet, right arm armor, and right shoulder armor reappeared.

Thousand Waves' Four-Word Battle Armor instantly caught Poseissi's attention, and just like a peacock courting its mate, he intentionally displayed his right side in the direction of Poseissi.

Qian Renxue was almost at a loss for words; she simply couldn't bear to look.

It's worth mentioning that in terms of attack patterns, ignoring all else, Thousand Waves had reached the limit with the coordination of his soul skills.

Martial Soul True Body + third soul skill + Divine Artifact + Four-Word Battle Armor, this was the highest damage Thousand Waves could deal with the involvement of a soul skill.

Because the subsequent soul skills couldn't utilize the Divine Angelic Holy Sword in his hand, they couldn't benefit from the Artifact's damage.

"Martial Soul True Body!"

"Third soul skill, Light Blade Slash!"

This...

What is this armor? How could it provide such a boost?!

Poseissi immediately hugged her trident and retreated backward, hoping to get a clearer view.

She remembered Thousand Waves's abilities from his youth; back then, he definitely didn't have such an imposing manner when releasing his Martial Soul True Body!

The towering angelic phantom caused even the cloud layer to be shrouded with a layer of golden glow, creating the effect of an evening sky despite being daytime.

Thousand Waves, holding the Holy Sword, had the angelic phantom project downward and merge into his body, making him suddenly gleam with golden light.

The third soul ring ascended, shining brilliantly.

Thousand Waves's Divine Artifact pierced through the soul ring with a "ding," and the golden sword blade sliced through the air, leaving behind a golden arc, while his body also drew several afterimages.

Because Poseissi was present, Thousand Waves attacked with even more flair, and it seemed like all his attributes received a slew of unexplained bonuses.

Boys in love indeed love to show off.

Oh no, two points need to be corrected.

First, he's unrequitedly in love, and second, he's an old man.

The Divine Angelic Holy Sword struck Lin Yi, and this attack, a third soul skill buff to the max, delivered the strongest damage dealt by a human up to that point!

He was sent reeling backward, while Thousand Waves steadied himself, maintaining a defensive stance ready to segue into an attack.

"Xi Xi, pay close attention, do not slacken after the attack!"

At that moment, in Poseissi's eyes, a Golden Storm was furiously expanding around Lin Yi, roaring like a wild beast; when it swelled to a certain extent, it swept toward Thousand Waves with an unstoppable force.

Poseissi instinctively stepped back. Although she had seen it just once before, this thing seemed stronger with each repetition.

Thousand Waves performed a showy jump in place, spinning his body in midair, while the Divine Angelic Holy Sword drew a golden arc cutting through the Damage Rebound.

Since neither his real body nor his Battle Armor were dispelled, the counterattack damage was more than sufficient.

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Blood loss: 611368]

[Remaining Health: 899915666837]

[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]

[Random Reward: Sweetness and combat effectiveness bonus binding percentage (bonus cap of 100%)]

[Host Reward: Sweetness and combat effectiveness bonus binding percentage (bonus cap of 200%)]

A sense of foreboding crept into Lin Yi's mind, as if the System was about to stir up something again.

He checked the reward's description.

Damn!

This is a reward designed specifically for those smitten by love!

Ahem, but it appears to be premised on... mutual love.

Lin Yi said to Thousand Waves, "Damage 611368, first off, congratulations, this is the first time a human has surpassed 600,000 damage, the level remains Golden Junior."

Upon hearing this, Thousand Waves couldn't contain his joy. Senior Lin Yi was really great, helping him show off in front of Poseissi again.

"Your reward is, sweetness and combat effectiveness bonus binding percentage."

ps. Recently, many Douluo fanfiction authors have started new books, so today I'm recommending another friend's new book.

"Douluo: The Strongest Soul Technology, Shocking Bi Bidong"

It takes the route of getting stronger through soul technology, which is a different style.
